Hi guys,

I'm looking to sticker my car up for Trax with a few company logos over it and want an actual design on the sides, front and rear done in vinyl.

Heres some ideas, if anyone can put together a decent design that i can use i'll send you a free entry ticket to trax or £15 to your paypal

Some ideas i like, it can't be to complex, generally just straight lines ideally. Ideally colours i'm liking are yellows, black, charchoal, greys, white.







Love this one if it can be made simpler some how

such a shame to cover up the paint

imo something more subtle than the yellow needed. mayhbe just a black outline with the odd highlight~?

Exactly my thoughts! I'd be looking at minimal graphics tbh as surely the colour itself will grab a fair bit of attention?

the yellow and blue doesnt work - looks too much like a toy :S

in my opinion.

I dont have decent gfx software on this paptop but white highlights and white wheels should work...

I think the checker flag on the back suits it. Not feeling the yellow stripe though, should put your sponsors there down the door.

Give us a list of your sponsors so we know what names to use on the designs

Race teams etc, hence the sponsors usually dictating/being consulted on designs

Not from my experience, you sell space on the car for various prices. If it's one large sponsor then yes they would be consulted but when it's 5 - 7 different ones i think it's to difficult to please them all so you just tell them what's available and for what price, put together a sponsor back and wait to hear back.

Rob B, how will you get your stickers made? how much do they cost to get made?

I want to get our racing team made for the rear 3/4 of our race car. But just not sure where to get it made or how much it'll cost.

Yeah, I think it's usually split... Side / number area, Front quarter, Rear Quarter, Rear, Front, Bonnet, Sunstrip. I've also seen some sell the space on their dash on TV covered events (Motors TV).

Paul just go to any local sign writers with the logos and they will make some designs up for you.

If you have the image i can get it done.

I usually use a guy called Mr Signs, he's one of our drivers uncles (Jack Goff) his car is fully wrapped matt black and has a ton of sponsors over it. His pricing is good too and pretty sure he can post stickers out to you.

Alternatively like Danny said, just go to a local sign writer, or i can bring you some to combe if you go.

Change the yellow to something else and that would be good, maybe white or silver

I was thinking the blue colour of the wheels so it's a bit more subtle, just waiting for the guy to change them to white, charchoal and silver

quite like this it's more simple, not all the logos but the black stripe.

Something like that with a white outline and yellow "gears" over the black.
